Setting a default printer is useful to make prints in a particular printer whenever a printing command is executed. There are several reasons for setting a default printer from an available printer. For example, if you are having two printers in that one is Black and White and the other is a color printer.

0x0000000a Printer Error

Last updated on November 17th, 2015

Today, one of my clients informed me that he could not print in the network printer due to the following error: 'Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x00000006'. At first I tried to reboot Windows and restart the spooler service without success. Then I tried to remove and re-install the printer drivers. At this trial, the computer sees and connect to the shared printer normally (installs the drivers without problems), but when the user tries to print from any application, he gets the same error from Windows: Print operation failed with error 0x00000006.

Finally I found the following solution to fix the '0x00000006' printer problem:

How to fix the Print Operation Failed Error 0x00000006 while printing.

Step 1. Uninstall current printer driver.

This step is optional. Uninstall the drivers of the network printer that you cannot connect to, if you have previously installed them.

1. To do this, go to:

• Windows 7 & Vista: Start > Control Panel.
• Windows XP: Start > Settings > Control Panel

• Windows 8 & 8.1:

1. Press “Windows” + “R” keys to load the Run dialog box.
2. Type “control panel” and press Enter.

2. Double click to open Devices and Printers.

3. Right click on the (problematic) network printer and select Remove device.

Step 2. Add the network printer as local.

1. In Device and Printers window, choose Add a printer.

2. In the Add Printer window, choose Add a local printer.

3. At the next window, choose Create a new port and make sure that the type of port is Local Port. Then choose Next.

4. At the pop-up window, as a port name, type the network path and the name of the network printer at the following format and then press OK:

ComputerNamePrinterName

Where: ComputerName, is the name of the workstation which the printer is connected to and the PrinterName is the shared name of the printer.

e.g. If the Computer Name is 'Station1' and the printer's shared name is 'HPJ6400' then you have to type 'Station1HPJ6400'.

5. Continue to install the printer's drivers. *

* Notice: If you still receive the error 'Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x00000006' when you try to add the network printer, then follow the instructions in Step 3 before adding the printer.

6. When finished, try to print to your printer.

Now, you should print without problems, but if you still face the same printer problem (error 0x00000006), follow the instructions at Step 3 below.

Step 3. Delete invalid registry key(s).

This step is optional. Just follow the instructions on it, only if you still face errors when you try to print. Swim club denver.

Open Registry editor. To do that:

1. Simultaneously press the “Win” + “R” keys to load the Run dialog box.

2. Type regedit and press Enter to open Registry Editor.

IMPORTANT:Before you continue, first take a backup of your registry. To do that:

• From the main menu, go to File & select Export.
